The book was released by Shri K. Chandramouli, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India and Chairman, IPC on 16th December 2010, at Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi, in the presence of offi cials.[1] Coming after a gap of three decades, the NFI will be a much sought after document for health care providers all over India. The need for unbiased, quality information on medicines is felt all over the country and the NFI 2010 may have been the answer which health professionals were waiting for. However, a quick look at the preprint version of the NFI shows that much work has to be done before the fi nal version is printed.
